Settings

Overview

The Settings page is a hub for configuring how Panelque organizes your data. It's divided into several sections.

Finance

• VAT – Configure your VAT registration status, default VAT rate, and whether your prices include VAT. When enabled, Panelque uses net (ex-VAT) amounts in all profit calculations. See the VAT Settings doc for details.
• Gateway fees – Set up payment gateway fee structures (percentage and flat fee per transaction) so Panelque can calculate accurate profit margins. Presets are available for common gateways. See the Gateway Fees doc for details.
• Expense categories – Create categories for your expenses (e.g. "Shipping", "Ads", "Rent"). These categories help you filter expenses on the main expenses page. The "Ads" category is special – expenses with this category are used in the Analytics page for ROAS calculations.
• Additional cost templates – Create reusable templates for costs you frequently add to orders (e.g. "Shipping surcharge", "Handling fee"). Each template stores a name, value, and optional group assignment. Templates can be applied to orders with one click from the order detail page. Drag templates by their handle to reorder; the new order is saved from the Shopify save bar at the top. Use Hide template in a row's menu to retire one you no longer add to orders – it stays here, marked Hidden, and Show template brings it back. Hiding never touches costs already added to an order. The Shopify transaction fee template, marked Automatic, is added by Panelque itself; you can only change its name and rate (see Pay Later). If a template is only an estimate – postage you add to every order, say – set Trued up by invoices in to the expense category where the real bill arrives; the bill then counts only as the difference against the estimates, so the cost is never charged twice (see Profit & Loss).
• Additional cost groups – Organize your additional cost templates into groups (e.g. "Shipping", "Packaging", "Fees"). Groups are optional – templates without a group appear as ungrouped. On the order page and the Pay Later balances table, templates are displayed grouped by their group name.

Inventory

• Warehouses – Add, edit, and remove custom warehouse locations. Shopify-synced locations appear here automatically. See the Warehouses doc for details.
• Inventory categories – Create categories to organize your inventory components (e.g. "Raw Materials", "Packaging", "Electronics"). Assign categories individually or in bulk from the inventory page.
• Suppliers – Save supplier names and addresses so you can pick them when creating purchase orders without re-typing the details each time. Deleting a supplier leaves existing purchase orders intact – their snapshotted name and address stay on the PO; only the link to the supplier record is cleared.

Orders & customers

• Ship-by – Set the default working-day deadline applied to new orders, so the ones due soonest sort to the top.
• Target margin – The share of each sale you want to keep after the product's cost. With a target set, every variant shows its floor price (the lowest price that still reaches the target) on the product pages, and order lines discounted below it are flagged on the order page. The margin is measured against the price net of VAT when your prices include VAT. Leave it empty to turn the check off.
• Customer tags – Create tags with a title, slug, and label color to segment your customers. Dynamic tags applied automatically by Panelque also appear here; you can adjust their colors.

Marketing

• QR codes – Create a scannable code for any page of your store, named after the spot you put it up in, and see how often each spot gets used. See the QR codes doc for details.

Notifications

• Email notifications – Choose who gets an email when a new order arrives, and whether untagged customers count. See the Email notifications doc for details.
• Telegram – Post every new order to a Telegram channel with its number, amount, payment gateway, and delivery method. See the Telegram doc for details.
• Alerts & daily digest – Choose what Panelque watches for you, when the daily summary goes out, and whether urgent alerts are sent the moment they appear. See the Alerts doc for details.

Integrations

• InPost – Configure parcel size thresholds for automatic size selection when exporting orders to InPost. See the InPost doc for details.
• TV screen – Pair and manage TV screens that display live sales metrics. Configure which cards (orders count, items ordered, revenue, last orders, active shipments) appear on each screen. See the TV Screen doc for details.
• Facebook Ads – Connect your Meta ad account so daily ad spend imports itself as an expense in the "Ads" category, ready for ROAS in Analytics. Only appears when the connection is available.

Team

• Staff users – Manage which app sections each staff member can access. Expenses can be granted as a whole or one block at a time – just purchase invoices, just write-offs, or both. You can also add staff users yourself – for packers or contractors without a Shopify account. They cannot open the app, but you can assign them orders, costs and stock movements.

General

• Subscription – View your plan and switch to another one.

• Language – Choose the interface language used across Panelque.

  • Auto (follow Shopify) – Panelque uses your Shopify store's primary language. This is the default for new installs.
  • English – Always use English, regardless of your Shopify store language.
  • Polski – Always use Polish, regardless of your Shopify store language.

  Switching languages takes effect immediately and applies to every page in the app for your account.

• Setup guide – Re-open the setup wizard to review or complete configuration steps. Only appears after you have completed initial onboarding.

Category Management

Both inventory and expense categories work the same way:

• Add a category with a name and optional description
• Edit the name or description at any time
• Delete a category when it's no longer needed

Categories are scoped to your shop – they won't affect other stores.
